To What Extent is Democracy The Best Form of Government in The World Today?

            Based on the three criterions, which are the ability to protect human rights, the susceptibility of governments to election-oriented politicians, and the extent of free media, we can then deduce that a republic is actually the best form of government. It differs with democracy in its ability to safeguard the rights of the people through a constitution. Hence, democracy is, to a very small extent, the best form of government.
